Joe Biden Wasn’t Invited to His Son’s Wedding

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden did not send a wedding invitation to his father, former Vice President Joe Biden, who learned about the marriage by a phone call following the ceremony.

The 49-year-old vice president’s son detailed his new relationship with 32-year-old South African filmmaker Melissa Cohen, which began in early May and saw the two married days later, during an interview with the New Yorker.

In the piece, Hunter recounted the conversation he had with his father, Joe, after the wedding had already taken place. . .

“He was on speaker, and he said to her, ‘Thank you for giving my son the courage to love again.’ And he said to me, ‘Honey, I knew that when you found love again that I’d get you back.’”

Biden said the two then shared a touching moment, with him telling his father: “Dad, I always had love. And the only thing that allowed me to see it was the fact that you never gave up on me, you always believed in me.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Wasn’t Invited to His Son’s Wedding” HERE)

Biden Puts Foot in Mouth with ‘Gay Waiter’ Comment at Pride Fundraiser

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .During a campaign fundraiser in Seattle on Saturday, the former vice president tried to illustrate how far the United States has come when it comes to the treatment of the LGBT community, but he apparently missed the mark.

Biden claimed that just five years ago, it would have been acceptable for a businessman to make “fun of a gay waiter,” the Washington Examiner reported. Those in attendance at the event, which took place at the home of public relations executive and gay rights activist Roger Nyhus, made it clear that was not the case – at least not in their city. . .

The point of Biden’s remarks, delivered as the LGBT community and their allies celebrated Pride Weekend, was that the United States has made progress. He said the hypothetical businessman he spoke of “would not be invited back” today.

Biden also spoke about how he supported same-sex marriage when he was vice president, according to the Seattle Times, telling White House officials that the American people were in favor of this, even if leadership was lagging behind on the issue.

This latest misstep comes soon after Biden tried to rehabilitate his image when it comes to race relations, only to be called out by opponent Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.

First Poll of Democrats After the Debates Has Very Bad News for this 2020 Candidate (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. One of the first polls to be released after the Democratic debates has very bad news for the presidential campaign of former Vice President Joe Biden, the current frontrunner.

The Morning Consult/FiveThirtyEight poll found that support for Biden had fallen by a precipitous 10 percentage points among likely Democratic voters.

41.5 percent of likely Democratic voters said they supported Biden’s campaign before the debate, but only 31.5 percent said they supported him after the debate. . .

CNN’s Van Jones said in a dispirited commentary that the debate was a “bad night” for Democrats and also for Biden.

“Maybe he already thinks he’s woke, he’s already there, he doesn’t have to keep learning and growing, we all have to keep learning and growing, on women’s issues, on racial issues, on immigration issues, that’s the whole point of the country, we try to become a more perfect union together,” Jones said to the CNN panel.

Biden Sees Support from Democrats Slip 10 Points After Debate

By The Hill. . .The apparent decline in support comes after Biden was widely seen as having faltered, including engaging in a stark exchange with Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) over school busing.

Harris herself got a nearly 9 point bump, with 16.6 percent of Democrats saying they would support her after the debate, up from 7.9 percent before the events.

Other 2020 candidates had marginal increases or decreases. . .

Morning Consult and FiveThirtyEight surveyed, from June 19-26, 7,150 registered voters who say they are likely to vote in their state’s Democratic primary or caucus. That result has a margin of error of 1 percentage point. Then, June 27-28, 1,399 respondents who answered the first round of questioning were surveyed. That result has a margin of error of 3 percentage points. (Read more from “Biden Sees Support from Democrats Slip 10 Points After Debate” HERE)

More Bad News Hits Joe Biden’s Presidential Campaign

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden’s presidential campaign has taken another hit as one of Biden’s top fundraisers has announced that he can no longer support Biden.

“Tom McInerney, a veteran San Francisco based lawyer, informed Biden’s team on June 20 that he can no longer help him raise campaign cash to compete in the 2020 presidential election,” CNBC reported. “While McInerney is the first financier to publicly withdraw his support after Biden’s controversial round of comments, the loss is significant because it could be a harbinger of further defections.”

McInerney pulled his support from Biden after Biden’s past comments praising racist Democrat segregationist senators surfaced earlier this month and after Biden flipped on repealing the Hyde Amendment.

“I don’t think he did well last night,” McInerney said of Biden’s debate performance.

Biden suffered a massive blow during Thursday night’s Democratic presidential debate of MSNBC from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), who ripped Biden to pieces over race.

Biden Compares Trump’s Election to High-Profile Assassinations of Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy; Dems Go After Biden 2020

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. Former Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday compared the cultural ripple effect of President Donald Trump’s election to the assassinations of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Sen. Robert Kennedy (D-N.Y.) in the 1960s.

Speaking with MSNBC host Al Sharpton during the South Carolina Democratic Convention about criminal justice reform, Biden claimed that Trump’s election ignited a cultural awakening that will shift the tides of public policy just like the assassinations of King and Kennedy drove change a half-century ago.

“I think what’s happening now is, I think that Donald Trump may have reawakened sensibilities in this country to say ‘Whoa, maybe we can do this now,’ just like our generation was awakened when Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated,” Biden said. “Our whole generation said, ‘I’m back in, man.’ . . .

Although Biden remains the clear frontrunner for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, his gaffe-prone nature has already reared its head early into his campaign. (Read more from “Biden Compares Trump’s Election to High-Profile Assassinations of Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy” HERE)

Democrats Call Biden ‘Unchanging’ and a ‘Disaster Waiting to Happen’

By The New York Post. Former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel, one of just two Democratic candidates who skipped the South Carolina Democratic convention, lambasted Biden as “unchanging, unapologetic, unaware” for Biden’s recent comments praising his own work with segregationist Senate Democrats in the 1970s.

Gravel tweeted that the former vice president “is a disaster waiting to happen. If you are serious about beating Trump, you need to be serious about beating Joe and giving us a serious progressive for the White House.”

Meanwhile, in Columbia, SC, candidates tried to steer the conversation around the front-runner.

California Sen. Kamala Harris entered the convention with a drum line playing as she rode down an elevator. She attacked Trump for everything from his tax and trade policies to an alleged lack of civil rights protections for marginalized Americans. She said Trump’s economic proposals help the rich and hurt farmers. (Read more from “Democrats Call Biden ‘Unchanging’ and a ‘Disaster Waiting to Happen'” HERE)

2020 Dems at War: Here’s Why Joe Biden Wants Cory Booker to Apologize

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Joe Biden told reporters on Wednesday that he was not going to apologize for invoking his ability decades ago to work with two segregationist southern senators to “get things done.”

A Fox News camera was rolling when Biden was asked if he was going to apologize for his remarks. The 2020 Democrat hopeful answered, “Apologize for what?”

Biden faced scorching criticism Wednesday from his primary rivals including two of the three black candidates running for the White House — Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Kamala Harris of California – who raised serious concerns after Biden highlighted his ability to work with the segregationist senators. . .

“Cory should apologize,” Biden said in response on Wednesday. “He knows better. Not a racist bone in my body. I’ve been involved in civil rights my whole career. Period. Period. Period.” . . .

[Booker] added, “I know that I was raised to speak truth to power and that I will never apologize for doing that. Vice President Biden shouldn’t need this lesson and at a time when we have from the highest office in the land divisiveness, racial hatred and bigotry being spewed he should have the sensitivity to know that this is a time I need to be an ally, I need to be a healer, I need not engage in usage of words that will harm folks. And so, this is deeply disappointing.” (Read more from “2020 Dems at War: Here’s Why Joe Biden Wants Cory Booker to Apologize” HERE)

What a Moron: Joe Biden Is Getting His Gun Control Agenda from James Bond

/0 Comments/in , /by

During a fundraiser on Monday evening, former Vice President Joe Biden reference James Bond and the use of “smart guns” as a means of achieving gun control in the United States.

“If I get elected president of the United States of America with your help, if that happens, guns, we have the capacity now in a James Bond-style to make sure no one can pull a trigger unless their DNA and fingerprint is on it,” Biden said, according to the Washington Examiner. “We have that capacity to do it now. You know it.”

“But what happens? The gun manufacturers, when two folks started to sell some of those guns to two dealerships, they said, ‘We’re going to shut you down.’ My god, we don’t have to worry about the 2nd Amendment,” Biden explained. “Imagine all the people who would be alive today if the only person who could buy a gun is qualified because of background checks and they’re the only ones that can pull the trigger? So my point is there are so many things we have the capacity to do.”

It’s hard to take a presidential candidate seriously when they’re talking about implementing gun control policies simply because a fictional character has that kind of technology. While it’s great for fictional characters and movies, smart guns are absolutely not the answer to achieving “common sense” gun laws in America.

Smart guns require a person’s fingerprint to be programed into the firearm in order for the trigger to be pulled and the gun to fire. That sounds great on paper but there are practicality issues. (Read more from “What a Moron: Joe Biden Is Getting His Gun Control Agenda from James Bond” HERE)

Biden Suggests Using Violence to Deal with Republicans

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden appeared to suggest using violence against Republicans on Monday in response to a question about how he as president would deal with opposition to his agenda in the Senate from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. . .

“Joy, I know you’re one of the ones who thinks it’s naive to think we have to work together,” Biden responded. “The fact of the matter is if we can’t get a consensus, nothing happens except the abuse of power by the executive.”

“There are certain things where it just takes a brass knuckle fight,” Biden continued, later adding: “Let’s start a real physical revolution if you’re talking about it.”

2020 Democrats Look to Cut into Biden’s Lead with Black Voters

By The Hill. Democrats seeking to cut into former Vice President Joe Biden’s lead with black voters addressed the Poor People’s Campaign in Washington on Monday, each making the case that they’re best equipped to address racial economic inequality in the U.S.

Biden and eight other Democratic presidential candidates spoke at Trinity Washington University, a predominantly black school on the northeast side of the city, where they detailed how they’d address the “systemic racism” they said had led to unfair economic outcomes for racial minorities.

Over the past few days, the Democratic contenders have proposed a raft of new policy ideas, from expunging criminal records for marijuana arrests to setting up multibillion-dollar funds to support minority-run businesses.

The proposals are aimed at winning over black voters, a key Democratic constituency that will play a major role in determining the party’s nominee, particularly in the early-voting state of South Carolina. (Read more from “2020 Democrats Look to Cut into Biden’s Lead with Black Voters” HERE)

In 2006 Joe Biden Bragged About Delaware Being a Slave State, Joked About Fighting for the Confederacy

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Joe Biden is currently on his third campaign to win the Democratic presidential nomination. His first campaign in 1988 was derailed because he plagiarized a speech and his second in 2008 was cut short because, as he described it, he lost against the “first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy” named Barack Obama. However, in 2006 in the run-up to the 2008 South Carolina primaries, the then-Delaware senator used the First State’s former status as a slave state as a reason for why he could gain support in the south during the Democratic primary. Biden did this on at least two occasions; once in a more joking manner during a speech at the Columbia Rotary Club and once in a more serious tone with Fox News’ Chris Wallace.

As reported by CBS News, then-Senator Joe Biden jokingly told the influential South Carolina group that Delaware would have fought for the confederacy in the Civil War, but could not due to geography.

“Biden was on a roll,” the reporter said. “Delaware, he noted, was a ‘slave state that fought beside the North. That’s only because we couldn’t figure out how to get to the South. There were a couple of states in the way.'” (emphasis added)

In the same speech, he also made a sympathetic reference to a Columbia Rotary Club member’s announcement “that the club would hold its annual Christmas party at the state Department of Archives and History where members could view the original copy of the state’s Articles of Secession.” (Read more from “In 2006 Joe Biden Bragged About Delaware Being a Slave State, Joked About Fighting for the Confederacy” HERE)
